For Sale – Eugene Sternberg’s Home

February 1st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Architects, For Sale

If you look under the white and beige paint, Laura Ashley fabrics, and traditional furniture, there is a gorgeous mid-century modern home.

Sternberg designed this home for his family in the early 60′s and lived here until he retired and moved to Evergreen in 1980. It has 4500+ square feet with a full walkout basement, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 car garage, and lots of outdoor living space. Sternberg was also responsible for the site planning of the subdivision, so it’s no surprise the house sits on a large lot and backs to open space. It could be yours for somewhere around $1.5M.

Please note that we work ONLY for buyers and this is an example of the homes we locate for our clients.* All of the properties featured on the site are either For Sale by Owner, or listed by other brokers.

There are also currently 3 midcentury modern homes for sale in Arapahoe Acres and one more on the way. Those of you on my mailing list are also aware of the Ed Hawkins designed home currently for sale in Southern Hills.


Speaking of Arapahoe Acres homeowners, Diane Wray Tomasso has recently published another Denver Historic Guide with Westword writer, Michael Paglia. The new guide is called “Mid-Century Modern House in Denver” which you can pick up at Tattered Cover or from Historic Denver, Inc.

If you don’t already have them, you may also want to pick up “Denver: The Modern City” (shown) and “The Arapahoe Acres Historic District” guides.

Art Deco Exhibit…

now until June 1st, at the Aurora History Museum.

“On display will be examples of how the Art Deco style was utilized in building design, furniture, domestic pieces, radios, lighting, kitchen appliances, jewelry, and much more.”

Pictured above is the Buerger Brothers building at 17th & Champa. Designed by architect Montana S. Fallis (most likely with the assistance of his son Myrlin), it is considered one of Denver’s best examples of Art Deco design. Thankfully, the building was rehabilitated in the late 90′s after decades of neglect and has now been converted into residential lofts.
